<![CDATA[Other options to hanging the mirror on a wall]]>Hey all,
So I recently moved and my new apartment has all concrete walls. I cant drill into the walls to hang up my mirror so I wanted to ask here if anyone has any other ideas for a way to display my mirror? It weighs a solid 30lbs or so, so I was thinking of using an art easel perhaps?

Thanks in advance!

A couple of vertical supports that can be screwed into the back of the dresser can also be attached to the back of the mirror. You could probably get away with a couple of 1" x 1" x 12" wooden boards that are screwed into the mirror box and the back of your dresser.

The whole thing can then be pushed up against a wall and you will have a mirror sitting on your dresser.

Edited to add: Or spring for a couple of flat aluminum stock. 1" wide, 12" long, 1/8" thick or so. Drill holes, screw into dresser & frame. This would add less space to the depth of your setup.

I was able to get my mirror hung up in the end with very tiny (yet amazingly sturdy) wall tacks. Was helpful going through the other options though

I have a concrete drill bit so I may end up just doing that anyways if I can’t come up with another solution.

With a proper drill you can drill a hole in concrete.
